A recent AARP survey found that 80% of people in the 60 - 80 age group plan to continue working after age sixty-five.  They need to work because they want the income in some cases.  Others say they want to keep working for the fun of it and these people are looking for emotionally rewarding work situations.

Jen Sedlar and Rich Miners offer some suggestions and shared experiences in their book, Don't Retire, Rewire!.  If you don't know where to look for jobs that are best suited to your passions and interests, they give direction.  The book guides people who are older adults but who continue to think of themselves as fully engaged people.  Their lives reflect the positive benefits of relationships, non-work activities, flexibility, and future planning.

Don't Retire, Rewire! combines practical advice by sharing stories and anecdotes of people who have gone through the process of obtaining work whether part-time, volunteer work, or following a second career.

As you might guess, "rewiring" has become a hot button topic in the business world.  We at sixes and sevens support the inner strength of people between sixty and eighty who remain eager to contribute to their communities and the society as a whole.  Their resilience is admirable!
